Feather Shuttle VS Nylon Shuttle

For playing badminton we need rackets and shuttles. Here we are to tell you in brief something about different kinds of shuttlecocks.
There are many kinds of shuttlecocks but mainly there are two kinds which are played in a match. One which uses feather and others which uses synthetic polymers like plastic in their shuttlecock for perfect balancing of the cock. or if their will simply a cork without any support it would have been flying ve3ry high that would lead to misbalance and falling of the cork.

Feather shuttle vs Synthetic shuttle
Shuttlecocks with feather are not so good to look and even not durable. As we all know feathers are extremely delicate and can shatter or broke down only in a few turns. The feather cock is actually manufactured by real feathers. But if we properly play humidity the shuttlecock made up of feathers before a badminton match it will be far more better to play with. But the biggest advantage of using feather made shuttlecocks is that if it is hit strongly it goes far and with a faster speed.

Shuttlecocks with synthetic polymer like plastic are good looking and are further durable. They are not too delicate as the feather one and do not even break too quick. You can use it for a further long time than a feather shuttle. They are manufactured by plastic coverings. They offer the same quality prior humidifying also. If these plastic shuttles are hit hard they would have the same speed.

As we all know plastics are not environmental friendly whereas feathers are. Then it is up to you what you prefer.

Weight of Shuttlecocks

Different weights have been measured for different places above sea levels. Both humidity and height affect the weight of shuttlecocks.

Most experienced players prefer feather made shuttlecocks for their tournaments. Many of the leagues and tournaments are always played using shuttlecocks made of feathers.

Plastics fly slowly or slow down toward the end and drop at a particular place whereas feathers go straight through and plastic fall in diagonal.

Speed of feather made shuttlecocks - 320 km/hr and slow down

Speed of plastic made shuttles - 79 km/hr and stops
